It’s one of my biggest gripes with JRPGs. I don’t want to experience them when I just want to go from point A to B. What a silly assumption! It felt good when it finally died, super satisfying. Died a lot because I thought I could brute force it. Nothing is resonating with me yet this early on.īut hey it’s too early to judge! I’m happy to be proven wrong from these initial impressions of mine.įighting the Chapter 1 boss alone as Ophilia was hard in that I needed to know what I was doing and actually learn the mechanics and it was a challenging kind of fun. My eyes kept rolling at two of these predictable backstories so far. I like the investigation side of things though the first case was super obvious and easy :0 Of course he’s the out of reach good looking one P He’s super oblivious to differing values and perspectives of other people and is he supposed to be funny…I’m not feeling it. I stumbled upon him because I was struggling to switch between characters but couldn’t, once I was done with Ophilia’s Chapter 1.Ĭyrus is the intelligent, investigative, handsome professor who only has 2 female students in his classes and highly values reading, writing and sharing knowledge, rather than hording them. So definitely there’s my bias here.īut unlike my family, Ophilia’s family is super duper generous and kind to their community who can do no wrong :’)Įventually I skipped dialogue especially for Cyrus…it didn’t feel interesting to me I suppose. They’re too best of friends to have any drama. There’s also the cultural “keep your feelings to yourself for the family/community” deal that I know extremely well. It brings out my personal “I don’t feel good enough for this family” feelings out of me and the “bottling up emotions/issues” family dynamics and that’s not great. This feels too real for me personally as I’m tolerating my family too to a similar degree. The sister doesn’t even get angry but was relieved that she doesn’t need to do the ritual. And then the father goes, he sensed this would happen? That Ophilia would do the dangerous journey instead of his own biological daughter? There’s no conflict or drama, let alone emotional investment about this. Was she their servant for her whole life growing up?Īnd then she just takes her sister’s place for this ritual and journey despite the sister training whole life preparing for it? This is so the sister can take care of their sick, dying father…because she probably loves him more and he needs her more because she’s biological to him and Ophelia is not? Apparently blood is the stronger bond than anything else. She doesn’t participate or dare include herself with the jokes. They keep joking together and she’s being left out of it. So if I was Ophilia, I would feel alienated and might as well take the sister’s role/job and leave. They keep going back and forth in being a family with Ophilia and then their wording does the opposite. And Ophilia keeps calling him “your Excellency” too which didn’t help. Same with the father, even though he expresses pride in both his girls. It also annoys me how her family is focused on being a family yet her sister keeps saying “MY father” but not “our” father. She is super goody, submissive and prioritises everything for her generous foster family so I don’t know if there’s anything beyond that yet. Picked Ophilia first because I see myself as a support person anyway P So please keep that in mind that it’s not a game for me. I felt done with the game at certain points. Personally it’s not a game I’d play in full. RPG ramble where I have no patience in playing them: I like boosting my attacks/magic attacks! Feels super awesome! Really interesting mechanics ^o^ I played the demo and started off with Ophilia the Cleric as my main character and Cyrus the Scholar before my 3 hours were up.
